"Obama is holding his own against both of [the Clintons]– doing more than his share of the 'spade' work. Maybe even gaining ground at the moment. Using not only the spade ladies and gentleman— that when he finishes with the 'spade' in the garden of corruption planted by the Clinton’s, he turns to the 'hoe.' And so the spade work and his expertise using a hoe."
-- Rush Limbaugh, being incredibly unfunny.
"He is often lazy, given to misstatements and exaggerations and, when he doesn't know the answer, too ready to try to bluff his way through."
-- Karl Rove, describing Sen. Obama.

Limbaugh's quote made my blood curdle.
Rove's quote is a punchline by itself.
Perhaps Rush's judgement is "colored" by too much Oxycotin. What a maroon.
Brian/Schroeder is so right to not just rail but actively complain about this crap. It's not just that it has catured the AM spectrum, but even the goverment pipes this crap out to our soldiers overseas.
And then add Richard Cohen's very ugly insuniation that Obama hasn't condemned Louis Farrakhan to his, Richard Cohen's, satisfaction.
Apparently the pastor of Obama's church presented Farrakhan with some sort of award. Obama is on record saying he disagreed with the decision, but for Richard Cohen that's not enough...
Because what's "enough" for Richard Cohen is the chance to draw a little blood, no matter how convoluted and inane the allegation is. Same with Lamebone and Karlos Rove, although their barbs are obviously more crude...then again, Rove and Rush's respective targets aren't exactly, um, nuanced.
Cohen's readers, on the other hand, are ostensibly liberal...that said, dropping a radioactive name like Farrakhan's is a deliberate attempt to cloud the waters, and speaks volumes about the state of the "liberal" media and their lockstep march with bloody flag wavers like Rush and Rove...
No, not funny, but for what its worth, Rush was/is playing off the fact that Hillary said that Obama has not done the "spadework" necessary to be president on the Today show.
It's been a going bit for about a week -- see:

I didn't realize Rove had such a sense of humor.
